AC Powered

All systems are typically solar powered but we can provide any system to be powered by your AC power source.

About Activation

Optional Audible Sound

When activated an audible warning sound can go off.

About Activation

Optional BlinkerBeam® Wireless Communication

Systems can be activated and controlled with BlinkerBeam® self-powered wireless transmitters and receivers. These compact controllers activate systems wirelessly within a 1000 ft. range line of site (longer distances available with external antennas). BlinkerBeam® can be activated and controlled from a remote location, allowing for immediate implementation of warning, emergency and evacuation systems. Electric grid independence provides activation during power outages and remote locations.

No Need For Concrete Cutting, Trenching or Special Work Crews

About Activation

Optional Key Switch

Easy activation with a key. Only allows authorized personnel to activate. Stays active until switched off.

GPS Option

Opticom™ Multimode phase selector validates request form IR detector or GPS receiver, and alerts the traffic control system which changes the traffic signal and activates signs and or beacons.

About Activation

Rain Detector

The Rain Detector is based on the capacity principle. The capacity value of the sensitive element changes according to the surface dampened by raindrops. An integrated heater keeps it dry, evaporates water and prevents false signals caused by fog or dew.

The Rain Detector is equipped with three different outputs: a rain on/off output which detects whether it is raining/snowing (on) or not (off), also used to control a relay coil or similar devices; a 0...1V voltage analogue output (calibrated) and a 1,5...6KHz frequency output (not calibrated), which provide an accurate indication of current precipitation intensity. The on/off output comes with a delay circuit that indicates the â€œrain overâ€� condition with a 2 minute delay so that the â€œrain overâ€� condition is distinguished from the â€œlight rainâ€� one.

About Activation

Vehicle Speed Sensor

A low power draw Digital Signal Processing (DSP) based K-band radar for ITS sign activation and traffic calming. It is the premier product in its class, the world's smallest and lowest power usage OEM K-Band Doppler radar, up to 25X lower than some other industry offerings. 300+ feet typical detective range for a compact vehicle.

Optional Surface Sentinel Environmental Sensor

The Fixed Surface Sentinel is a compact and rugged sensor that provides surface temperature, air temperature, relative humidity and dew point from a fixed tower or pole. The Surface Sentinel was designed for the demands of road management professionals.

Standard open-architecture data output is available via SDI-12 to provide a common interface to industry standard datalogger and telemetry options. The sensor has an integrated, powermanaged fan as an option for applications where higher accuracy air temperature and relative humidity readings are needed. A contact output is provided directly from the sensor to trigger ITS field devices at user defined sensor thresholds.

Optional Toggle Switch

Optional High Water Sensors

Ground Level Fiber Optic Water Sensor

The fiber optic water sensor is a low-power method to activate systems in flood zones. The sensor housing is installed in the curb or banded to a pole and will trigger TAPCO BlinkerSign® or BlinkerBeacon™ flashing LEDs when water rises to a pre-determined level.

Dimensions: 3.7" x .5"

Adjustable Water Level Action

Vented Cabinet for Moisture Dissipation

Works in Saltwater As Well As Freshwater

Pole Mount Water Sensor

The pole-mounted water sensor is easily installed at ground level to activate BlinkerSign® LED signs or BlinkerBeacon™ flashing beacons in flood zones. The tube-mounted sensor allows for a wide range of activation depth.

Eliminates Need to Cut Concrete and Fiber-Optic Cable Run.

Widely Adjustable Water Level Sensor.
